mucking about--

in a four selvedge world.

makes for unexpectedly deep inquiry
into the minutiae--

Fresh off the loom. Full Immersion will happen eventually -- hot water and a little wool wash relaxing everything.

of yarn
and shape
and tapestry expectations.

What are these things anyway?

They are all of you made manifest through your hands. (I don't know, it just came to me, laden with pretension and dripping with Artistic Virtue.)

Inspiring! That's what they are! I need to try the four selvedge approach.

on Jan. 17, 2018 at 9am on the right hand ocean coast.....Sarah, could you please explain how you got such neat edges top and bottom...and I am in Rebecca's Little Looms class and she helps me too ...did you weave a straight header across and turn It under for a neat hem? ...what held that little
header in place?...a row of twining?...thanks from Janet K who looks at some of these and sees neither header or twining--just perfect straight weaving and wonders what happens when it is cut off and the tension collapses?

Love your woven doodles. Would you ever consider explaining how you weave your ends in as you go? Or is this available in the archives of your blog and I missed it somehow?

Little thoughts you have snagged on their travels? Lots of little thoughts can make big thoughts. Philosophies, even.
(Shove up, Lynn; you're not the only one on the Pretentious Sofa today!)
